An Analysis of Electronic Aids to Maintenance (EAM) for the Light Helicopter Family (LHX)

Abstract

Substantial savings in maintenance manpower and training time, special tools, test equipment, and the storage and handling of repair parts have been predicted for weapons systems that incorporate electronic aids to maintenance (EAM) in their design. Performance deficiencies of weapon system's EAM could have serious consequences to both system availability and MPT (manpower, Personnel, and Training) requirements. This report provides an overview of contemporary EAM technology. It identifies failures or inadequacies for EAM used in recent weapons systems and projects the results of EAM performance for the Light Helicopter Family (LHX). It also identifies MPT- related solutions relevant to the use of EAM in the LHX program.
